Paper #3 was a comparison of a mass media report and a scientific article. I thought this was my weakest paper, even though it received my best grade. I used too many sources and most of the writing ended up being off topic. The paper, however, did push the point across in an acceptable manor.

Paper number two was on discourse communities. This paper discussed how links are formed through various levels of communication, to create a active group working towards a common goal.  The hardest part of this paper was creating a working thesis. The idea of a working definition for a discourse community is hard to set in stone, and this led to a weak thesis.

The first paper written in class was on literary sponsors. This paper had an excellent prompt that evoked reflection on your learning process.  This paper came together easily and required no research. the only problems I had in this paper were paragraph transitions and grammar.
